The loose version is something like "All philosophical problems are problems of language." The closest direct quotes I've been able to find are these: > Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language. > —[[Ref. Ludwig Wittgenstein 1953 - Philosophical Investigations]] §109 > The problems arising through a misinterpretation of our forms of language have the character of depth. > —[[Ref. Ludwig Wittgenstein 1953 - Philosophical Investigations]] §111
